Onity and Marriott Lock it Up
February 21, 2007
NORCROSS, Georgia - Marriott International, which has hotel destinations all over the world, announced that it will now source its locking solutions from Onity (formerly TESA Entry Systems, Inc.), a provider of integrated electronic locking systems to countries all over the world.
The decision was part of a deal which will make Onity a preferred supplier to Marriott properties through the end of 2008.
With ambitious expansion plans, Marriott anticipates adding between 85,000-100,000 hotel rooms worldwide by 2009, over 30,000 of those to be outside North America. Their decision to make Onity a locking solution partner was made after an evaluation and negotiation with Onity's EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Asia) regional headquarters in Spain.
Borja Ibarrondo, key account manager EMEA for Onity, said the company is committed to meet and exceed Marriott's expectations for service and growth.
Onity, which has installed over three million locks worldwide, is also part of UTC Fire & Security, a safety and security solutions provider to more than a million customers headquartered in Connecticut.
